To be attributed to Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Neilson:
A 38-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Hamilton woman Jayde Gilbert.
Jayde, aged 30, was struck by a vehicle at the corner of Ohaupo Road and Kahikatea Drive on 15 May.
The man charged with her murder was arrested today and will appear in Hamilton District Court this afternoon.
On behalf of the investigation team, I would like to thank the people who assisted Jayde after she was struck by the vehicle, and the many members of our community who responded to our appeals for information.
As this is now before the court, further comment is not available.
